      • When working collaboratively, I exercise flexibility and willingness to compromise to achieve a common goal
      • I am a clear communicator; oral, written and nonverbal
    Learning intentions:

    • Students will be able to identify the intended audience for a piece of writing.
    • Students will be able to write in a way that is appropriate for the intended audience.
    • Students will be able to use language features to create specific effects on the intended audience.


    Success Criteria:

    • Students can identify the key characteristics of their intended audience, such as their age, interests, and level of knowledge.
    • Students can use a variety of writing techniques, such as tone, style, and register, to tailor their writing to their intended audience.
    • Students can use language features, such as specific vocabulary and sentence structures, to create specific effects on their intended audience.

    We will be using the CAT practice questions this week- to refine our understanding of writing for a particular audience.
